Among the select band of twentieth-century composers who have brought the private voice of the viola to public attention, Shostakovich joins the even more select majority with a single masterpiece to their credit
"It takes artists of rare insight and understanding to penetrate beneath the emotionally elusive surface of Shostakovich's death-ridden Viola Sonata. ...Fortunately...Annette Batholdy and Julius Drake are particularly inspired here, the anguish of the viola's intense cadenza passages finding ultimate release in the calm C major of the close."
